Our Classic Fountain Pens let you use popular drawing nibs in a fountain pen, not bother dipping the nib. They are durable and designed to last a lifetime.

Benefits

• Use any ink or paint — nothing sticks to the pen, so they're easy to clean
• Large capacity ink reservoir — draw all day and never run out
• Replace the nib easily — slide out one nib and slip in the other
• Designed to accommodate most popular large drawing nibs
  
• Adaptors will soon be available for smaller nibs and specialty nibs

Our pens are fun to use, easy to clean, and hard to plug.

Anatomy of our Classic Fountain Pen

There are three pieces to our Classic Fountain Pen:

• Cap
• Body, which contains the nib and feed
• Barrel, which houses the reservoir

The cap and barrel screw together for a tight fit without leakage.

Expand your carrying capacity

You can double the carrying capacity of the pen by removing the cartridge and filling the pen body with ink or paint. Doing so removes the "double wall protection" provided by a cartridge, but the screw seal on the body is tight, so there is little risk of leakage.

How to fill Pump Pens

Filling the Pump Pen is easy:

1. Unscrew the body from the barrel so you can see the reservoir.
2. Remove the reservoir.
3. Fill the reservoir with ink or paint.
4. Insert the reservoir into the back of the pen body.
5. Screw the barrel back on.

We use locking threads so you might feel the last turn bind. 

If you have trouble filling the reservoir, here are a couple of tricks:

1. When you remove the reservoir, wiggle it first to dislodge the mouth of the reservoir from the seal. Ink and paint can dry out and make the reservoir stick.
2. Take care where you lay the pen after removing the reservoir. The pen still contains ink, which can leak out. If you leave the pen horizontal, such as laying flat on a desk, you might have enough time to fill the reservoir and re-insert it before any ink or paint leaks out.
3. When you fill the reservoir, don't fill it to the top. Leave a 1/4" (~0.5 cm) of free space. If the pen is full of ink, the ink might burp out of the front end.
4. When you insert the reservoir back into the pen, twist the reservoir to seat it. You should feel the reservoir stop snugly inside the pen.

Shake the pen a couple of times to get the flow going. Tilting the pen back and forth can also work. Sometimes you have to flick your wrist.

Keep a backup reservoir filled and ready. Fill a reservoir with the ink and paint you want to use, then cap the reservoir. This way, when your pen runs out, you can remove the old reservoir and insert the new reservoir quickly. Switch the cap from the new reservoir to the old reservoir so the old reservoir doesn't leak.
